However, generally speaking, a 5W-20 or 5W-30 would be appropriate for most situations. 5W-30 is often a safer bet, especially in hotter climates.
* 5W-20: Better fuel economy, suitable for milder climates.
* 5W-30: Better protection in hotter climates and for higher mileage engines.
Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendation. The manual will detail the recommended viscosity (like 5W-20 or 5W-30) and the type of oil (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic). Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
